Need to copy Internet Options from one computer to another

I am experiencing an Internet issue on my computer that is not happening on a different computer.  I suspect there is an entry in the Internet Options that is causing the problem.  Is there anyway I can copy the Internet options from one computer and apply them to my computer?

Thanks - Bruce Leypoldt

Hello MHCIT,

Resetting the IE Options would accomplish the same result.  What version of IE are you using?  If IE7

1. Reset IE settings.  Go to Tools > Internet Options > Advanced.  Click on "Reset" button. Click OK. Close all browsers. Reboot the computer.

2. If no joy, an addon may be interfering with IE. Disable Addons.  Go to Tools > Add-on Manager, and uncheck the addons.

If you cannot open IE, start IE without addons.  Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Internet Explorer (No add-ons).

3. Check if a program running in the background is interfering with Internet Explorer. Temporarily disable antivirus and other security programs, firewall, toolbars such as Google and Yahoo, and desktop programs such as MSN and Google.

4. If using Windows XP, uninstall and reinstall IE7. Make sure you have the latest updates.

5. Create a new user account in Windows.

Hope this helps!
